One of the rare games bearing the PS Studios emblem this year is Helldivers 2, and it's just around the corner on PS5. This follow-up to the original co-op shooter launches 8th February with an over-the-shoulder camera and, presumably, a much bigger budget, and it looks like it should be super fun with friends. The launch trailer only has us looking forward to the giant bug-squashing action even more.

The tongue-in-cheek sense of humour is out in force here in a combo of cinematics and PS5 gameplay footage. You and up to three others are fighting back against alien forces, using the biggest and best firepower humanity has to offer — but friendly fire is always on, so you're forced to watch out for each other. The game also launches on PC the same day, and crossplay is supported, so this should be a jolly time whether you're on console or computer.

We can't wait to take this for a spin soon, but what about you? Are you down to frag some alien bugs with buddies in Helldivers 2? Let us know in the comments section below.
